Our lab exploits the fundamental interaction of all matter with electromagnetic fields in order to probe the workings of nature. We observe dynamic processes that happen in time scales of 100s of femtoseconds to even days or weeks. This is the equivalent of watching molecular interactions (femtosecond durations) and the slow drip of a stained glass window (months) at the same time
A few of our current projects are:
-
Structure and non-exponential dynamics in glass forming systems
-
Dielectric properties of new electro-optic materials
-
Probing water H-bond networks in biomolecular dynamics
-
Novel sensor for monitoring blood lesions
-
Dielectric study of bovine milk as a complex colloidal system
-
The novel non-invasive glucose monitoring sensor
-
Small tumor microwave ablation in the digestive system
- The sub – THz response of living human skin and its sweat ducts as an array of helical antennas
